ABSTRACT:
A lubricous glove is disclosed wherein the lubricous glove is made of a base material having a coating thereon of a hydrophilic lubricant mixed with a substantial portion of the material of the base material. For example, a natural rubber latex glove may have coated thereon a mixture of natural rubber latex and polyvinyl alcohol in order to provide a lubricous surface. In an alternate embodiment disclosed, the glove may be itself made of a mixture of the flexible base material and the hydrophilic lubricant. For example, a natural rubber latex may be mixed with either polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone or polyethylene oxide and a glove formed from the mixture in order to provide a lubricous glove.
